2000's - The 'Mash up' decade!

2000s fashion - The 'Mash up' decade!


Minimalist fashion was still popular among both sexes from the 90's, some say there was a lack of divide between the fashion from the 90's and the 2000's. The 2000's didn't particulary have a style but were seen recycling vintage clothing styles from for example the sixties or the eighties.


Leading designers during this period included - Alexander Mcqueen, Vera Wang, Christian Louboutin, Jean - Paul Gaultier and Vivienne Westwood.

From 2001 onwards many women wore more feminine styles such as denim miniskirts, daisy dukes, flared trousers and tank tops! Although bright colours were a hit including hot pink, baby blue and yellow!

In the mid 2000's boho and vintage styles around the globe became popular as low rise skinny jeans were a hit in America.

By the late 2000's both women and men revived the 80's punk style wearing acid washed skinny jeans and neon colours. Mariah Carey was one Amercan singer wearing the punk style during the 2000's as well as Madonna.

In 2007 Reese Witherspoon wore a yellow canary style dress to the golden globes which inspired many to wear brighter colours.


Men's wear started off with a 'leisurely look' of baseball caps and rugby shirts which slowly moved onto a revival of the 60's 'indie pop' style! Then by the late 2000's throwback fashions were popular including Ray Ban aviator sunglasses and wool topcoats.

Christian Loboutin is a famous French footwear designer who's shiny red laquered soles have become his signature. He is known for bringing back the stiletto heel back into fashion during this period designers many different heel heights and designs!








'Sex And the City' is one of the best chick flick films made in 2008 after its series ended on the television. This film had great inspiration showcasing the lifestyle and culture based in New York and more importantly each of the four friends has their own personality and style. This includes Carrie Bradshaw - High end fashion/ Vintage, Samantha Jones - Figure flattering pieces, Charlotte York - Classy and polished, and Miranda Hobbes - Separates/ interesting print styles!
